Today was a relatively chill day, like my one day off. This morning I saw Insurgent (again! Love that movie!), then I met a friend for a Vortex chat. And then, a concert- part of my try new things resolution and it was amazing!!! A very busy but Vortexy day.
We were chatting and then my friend said 'Do you practise this a lot?' And I was like 'I like to think so!' (alignment that it!) She then asked me if I listened to a lot of Abe. I go through various phases where I listen to spiritual stuff a lot and then not so much. My groups are always my touchstone to re-alignment.
I think that more than anything is that I am regularly aware of how I'm feeling and consequently where I'm vibrating. And I use what I can in a more conscious way. I've recently been going on about Movie Meditations- I love how movies just can take you to a different place (all from the comfort of your own home!). They can lift you to emotional exhilaration and are a great distraction if you're finding it too hard to appreciate or get in a good space, they also involve both sight and sound which invokes a higher level of concentration. Music, sports, art, days out, mini breaks etc are all great tools that you can use to get into a good feeling space, use everything you can as a tool to consciously work yourself into a good feeling place.
I've been reading Quiet by Susan Cain (I really really recommend it if you're an introvert!). And she speaks of being in this psychological phenomenon known as 'Flow'- that state where you are feeling good, time flies and you're thoroughly enjoying and engrossed in an activity. The importance is to do this because of doing it and not for the reward it brings. That's what we teach for all things- do it for the feeling and not for what you think it may or may not bring about manifestationally.
My friend, like some others, asked me if I ever get upset, angry etc and I'm like 'Hell yeah! All the time!' Lol, well not quite all the time but just because one is spiritual doesn't mean that one is devoid of negative emotions. There can be a common misconception that to be aligned and what not, that you have to not experience negativity. But this is not human! You came here to mix it up, you came to experience the contrast and give birth to wanted. You cannot know what you do want if you don't know what you don't want.
The goal is not to reach some place of completedness where you are happy once and for all forevermore. The goal of this game is just to do your best to turn your attention to what you want and to feel as good as you can as often as you can.
So to sum up, be conscious, do your best to raise awareness, try to feel as good as you can but be easy on yourself. Now we're talking!
Happy consciousness-ing!!!
Lots of love, Nick Xxx
